Morgan Burnett BREAKS hand! Oh no.

[gbpackfan]

I'm reading tweets all over that Burnett broke his hand and willl try and play Sun. with a club. That will make those ints and tackles real easy. GREAT, another injury.

unreal

sucky news if true

[hoosier]

If true that would be a bit of a relief in a strange sort of way. Why? After Collins and Clifton went down I was starting to worry that 2011 would be a repeat of 2010 on the injury front, except that 2011 would be the year of the career ending (not just season ending) injury. If Burnett broke his hand but can play with a prosthesis, that is just a hang nail--no, a "flesh wound"--by comparison.

just saw this on Packernews.com and came right over here...yep, it's true. This is unbelievable! First thing, this sucks ass, second thing, how the hell do you break your hand in practice? Oh, why should I even ask, Neal "tweeks" his knee in practice and hasn't been back since. If it weren't for bad luck, this team would have no luck at all.

if vick can do it...he can.

I can only think of the Holmgren video clip "No more rocket balls, please."

Aaron must have fired one.

It happened in a blitz drill. A safety whose tackling ability is hindered can be a real problem. I wonder if we'll see a lot of the base package they use with Woodson moving to Safety. Not sure what they call it.

A lineman breaking a hand is bad. A safety with a broken hand is impossible.

I would like to kick you in the nuts. But I realize I would just be acting out my frustration over this bad news.

This only makes sense if it means Burnett can be taken off the field completely.


Don't anybody talk to me, I need some alone time.

No Interceptions.

Larry Wilson a HOF safety for the Cards once finished the season with two broken hands, both of 'em in casts.

It can be done.

It just ain't easy.

This may be the week Jennings could see the field some, depending on the situation/score. Our young tackles stepped up.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I say sit Burnett until after the bye week. Put the best 5 DBs on the field, maybe that includes Bush. They won't be great, but they will still win.

[Pugger]

Oh for the love of...he broke his hand IN PRACTICE?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

At least we're still the best team in the NFL.
